There are drawbacks to using snapshots. Typically if you want to resize the disk or convert it from dynamic to static or vis Versa, you have to merge the snapshots and I have had issues not being able to merge snapshots locking me into the current state of the drive. Also, if you have virtualized a domain controller and you have a replica set up, you cannot revert to a snapshot as you will induce what is called a usn rollback and your replication will cease. If not corrected within the 90 day tombstone date you will probably not be able to recover. Ask me how I know.
